Community
Building connections that make a difference
Giving back runs deep in our legacy. Founder Arthur Guinness supported many causes around Dublin to give back to the city that hosted the brewery. The Guinness Trust, founded in 1890 by Edward Cecil Guinness, helped to create housing opportunities in both Dublin and London. We’re carrying on this community spirit and are committed to working alongside our Covent Garden neighbours to make the area a space that thrives for everybody.
We’re a global brand with a local heartbeat and here to make a positive difference, so we’re asking local voices of Westminster to guide us – our job is to listen and act.
Got an idea? We’re all ears.
Getting to know our neighbours
We have been running a series of discussions with the community of Westminster. Getting to know the individuals who live here to understand the challenges and causes that really matter. We see our role breaking down into the following areas:
Being resourceful - opening our doors to the community
Showing up - being present for the important things
Championing Covent Garden - thinking local first
Support existing work - backing local causes and talent
Integrating locals - providing opportunities to those closest to us
Nurturing talent
Phenomenal talent keeps the dream alive at Guinness Open Gate Brewery London. Our squad of industry-leading chefs, brewers, hospitality professionals and event managers hold a deep well of knowledge between them. We're committed to sharing this expertise to enrich our local community - inspiring the next generation, supporting local causes, and creating welcoming experiences that bring people together.
Community is about consistency, about continuing to show up even when it's hard
